TaskPaper is a simple to-do list that’s surprisingly adept. Unlike standard organizers, TaskPaper gets out of your way so that you can get things done.
From 2001 to 2007 I created and worked on another program called Mori. My goal was to create the perfect information manager. I added all the feature that I thought I wanted, but for some reason it never worked well for me.
Instead of using Mori I would find myself writing my notes and to-do's in plain text files on my Desktop. As you might guess this was a little frustrating. I tried to use Mori, but I kept going back to my text files. In the end I sold Mori, and continued to make my lists in text files.

TaskPaper 3 has many improvements. Most visibly, it allows to collapse or expand items as well as focus on specific projects in the side-bar, thus acting as an outline and not simply a linear task list.

But, text files aren't perfect. My to-do list text files were always messy. Textual 7 0 5 – lightweight irc client. Being free to make a mess is important to me, but without any structure I got overwhelmed as my lists grew large.
To get more organized I started adding the simplest structure that I could think of to my lists. For each project, I typed the project name and ended that line with a colon. For each task, I Tab indented it under its project and started the line with a dash followed by a space.
I typed everything else in free form and called those lines notes.

That small amount of structure made a big difference. I could still be as messy as I wanted to be, but I always had this simple structure to fall back on. My lists now had a structure, even if some parts were still messy.
I continued to tweak the system and turned it into TaskPaper. TaskPaper now has more tricks, but at its core it's a simple system for list making in a plain text file.
